Chaos on Movie Night

Thursday evening, Autumn Years Rest Home:

“Oh boy, it’s movie night. What are we watching?”

“Settle down, Pat. We haven’t voted yet. Let me see…..we have a choice of three great movies. This is comedy week, as you know. The 3 top choices are My Cousin Vinny, Best in Show and Planes, Trains and Automobiles.”

“Time to vote. Write down your choice and I will pass the hat.”

The group took its time. This was a tough decision. But in the end, Best in Show won.

The movie started….

Gloria: “Geez, we really need some popcorn. I can’t watch a movie without popcorn.”

Frank: “Shhhhh. I can’t hear the show. Quiet down. If you want popcorn, go make it.”

George: “Yeah, and hurry up. We all want popcorn.”

Gloria: “You mean I have to make enough for all of us? That isn’t fair. I will miss the show.”

Gordon: “What the hell kind of movie is this? It isn’t a movie, it’s a documentary. I was a dog trainer, back in my day. And I can tell the difference between a movie and a documentary.”

Minnie: “Hush up. We are trying to watch the show.”

George: “Where’s that popcorn? Geez, what’s taking so long?”

Frank: “Can you all please be quiet. I have not heard a word of this movie.”

Gordon: “I told you, it isn’t a movie. Look at these people. They all own show dogs. These are real life people.”

Wolf: “You idiot. This is a movie. It is a wild take on dog shows. So zip it Gordon. If you pay attention, you might get it.”

Gordon: “Why of all the nerve. Did you ever show dogs, Wolf? I doubt it. You are such a dog, that the judge wouldn’t know what he was judging: You or the dog that was walking you.”

Wolf: “I refuse to argue with an imbecile. Can you please shut the hell up so we can watch the show?”

Minnie: “I can’t believe this. The movie has been on for 30 minutes, and no one has been able to focus on the show. Now knock it off everyone. This is supposed to be a great movie.”
